WHAT IS A FEDERALISTf
Our contemporary of tho Republican seems rn
llwr at a lost how to satisfy himself of the real mean
ing of the term Federalist. H® approximate* iho
truth when. In Friday’s paper, ho say*—" It mean*
one who favor* a strong concentration of power in
tho Executive.” But that is only part of tho truth-
fur the Federalists aim at a concentration of power
in tho General Government ns n whole, and not in
the Executive Branch alone. Look at their attempt*
tn make the Federal Judiciary the arbiter of the
ro-erved rights of the Stales. Also nt their attempt*
to mako Congress superior to and imh’pendcni
of thn power* vested by the Constitution In iho
Exeru'ivu. They now aim to secure the Executive
chair, that hy blending the thro® grant p over*, tho
Legislative, the Executive, end tlto Judlciuty, they
may stride over the Constitutional liberties of the
people.
What difference will U nuke whether Ceiar or
Anthony non the Tyrant f
Thn Democracy, who nre the people, desire nn
mnster. They approve nf the course of the Exocu*
five, when ho adheres to thn principles which bore
him to tho seat he occupies. A* long ns ho listen*
no; to tho deceptive cry of those, who nro Impatient
nf the domination of a free nnd jealuut people, io
lung will tho Democracy stand by him.
Thai there nre a fuw men in the Domoc.rntic
ranks who In early life adopted Federal views, wo
do not protend to deny, hut the very fact nf their
now being found in llin*e rank*, provos that they
have texted in the crucible of experience th® princi-
plot of the Federalist*, and found too much alloy
for their us®.
They Imvo, after n trial, abjured them, nnd their
nets nnw point thorn out ns opposing nil the con
solidating measure* which bnvo been nnd an now
tho favorites of tlm Federal Forty.
But in this class Martin Van Burkn never
wn*, and if, n* mir contemporary threatens, lie will
devoto “a separate chapter” to consider “ Mr. Vun
Buren'*'ipporitinn to Mr. Mndi«on," nnd will pos.
sets himself of all tho facts, ho will find it hard to
prove him the associate t>f Harrison Gray Ot io.
We will answer the question, put a* nnrcaption.
A Federalist now, is on® who ndvnroie* any msa
sure tending to concontmto and con olidate power
in tin' General Government. Ho therefor® is n Fed
eralist, who advocates a National Bank, a High
Protective 7 , rrri^',creaiiiig a surplus in the Tion
«ury to be loaned to tlm favorites of the Bunk—
Assumption of State Debts—Internal Improve•
*vents by the General Government, and nil such
measure* snvorirg of u “strong concentration nf
power” in tho General Government, at the expense
of the States.
In the Federal ranks there will b® found men too,
who In early life professed the principles uf tho De-
morratlu faith. They have been gulled hy Federal
lenders, nn l made to stray ft om their original prin
ciples? or their besetting sin—nm5I/io//,|ias caused
them to urn against their brethren, wham thu favor
of the people has placed higher in political honor.
Of tit® firat, we have on instance In Governor
Lincoln, wlm recently oxpre-so I hi* disgust ih* the
little slanders of Ogle, of Fn. Of th® latter, W.C,
Rives, ofVn., is u lamentable example. Illves is
nuw side hy side with those who are battling ngnltut
II those principle* held snered by JefiVrsun, und
by Republican Virginia.
Lincoln Is now *V.U by side with thu Hartford
C-mventionUts, aiding in tho election of ill® man,
who, while Linc<du was indignantly exposing th
s-'hemes of thi'sft opponents of Mti.lismt and the
war. wn* resigning hi* commission to tho same
Mnd'xon, thu* abetting thorn in tlmir violent career.
What would even the fim®, of W'mhingron have
been, in comparison whh what It U, Iml ho thiowu

Bat we forbear pressing this burning stain upon
th® escutcheon of Harrison, and, for the pr'sent,
extract the following remarkable reminiscence-:

THE WHIG PARTY.
Mr. Adams, in his letter to Dutee J. Pearce, of
Rhode Island, dated 7th Sept. 1035, used the fol
lowing language in reference to the present Whig
patty:
They have NO HONE9T PRINCIPLF.S to
keep them together. .THEIR ONLY CEMENT
IS A SYMPATHY OK HATRED TO EVERY
MAN OF PURER PRINCIPLES THAN THEM
SELVES.”
This wo* euiri of tho Whig Party five year* ago,
nnd hy one #t)U high in their confidenrn.
Whnt principles cement them Mote, lot thetr Con
ventions, from tliulof Harrisburg down to tlmt of
Macon,—let their premised nddrmso* to Iho Pei*,
pie, declaring (or tather concealing) their party
creed,—let theli log-cabin speeches abusing men.
high in office,—let their sympathy of hatred for
Martin Van Burkn, incrcutcd as it is, hy hitpu-
ityof principles, answer.
Mr. Adams never uttered sn much truth in so
small a compass, ns when ho penned tho ubove quo.
ration.
Bat what care oar antagonists for principles!—
Striving, as they nre, for the loaves and fishes, the)
link together fur the sake of iho spoils, their motto
being th® Wise ant—"a union of the Whigs for
the sake of the Union"—alln« spoils.
DWintere-tod patriot*! We expect, should they
succeed in electing tho “ Hero nf North B®nd,” to
si-o ono of ilieir logcabins troh-porlod to Washing
ton, and tho foreign minister* nnd other guest* of
the nation, guszllng hard cider, while Old Tip aad
Ids cabin -t will reform thoir snlnrios so low, thni
they will lie Democrats in practice, If not In theory.
Wore it not that wc think with Mr. Adams, tlmt
they have nn non i-at principle to keep them to-
gelher, we would he disposed toseo these patriot**
par excellence, assuming th-* teiti* of Government!,
nnd piny off their boasted Democracy.
Batiltn p-npl® will nut trust men, wltodeelnr
